About

Hi, my name is Aurora.

A passionate yoga teacher, based in Rijswijk (The Hague area), The Netherlands. As a graduate of Leiden University, I have experienced both the highs and lows of a busy life full of reading, lectures and studying. During my eight years of studying at this beautiful University, I’ve experienced different struggles which were stress related, including a burn-out, in which I practically couldn’t do anything anymore. Luckily, I had discovered yoga from the moment I moved to Leiden to start my study. After years of practicing, I had developed a steady practice which helped me (alongside adopting my cat Rufus) to get healthy again and to handle stress in a better way.

Since I’ve started working as a yoga teacher, I noticed that a lot of people are dealing with the same struggles: either study or work related. It is my mission to bring Yoga (both the physical practice as well as the philosophical principles) to you in a down-to-earth manner, which will enable you to go from a busy to a balanced mind & life. 

Are you joining this journey with me? I’m looking forward to meet you!
